findy evenly matched guild

is it just me or does anet need to fix there evenly matched guild searchs. today my guild ranked about 4500 went against a rank 700 guild is it just me or is anet lying or is it they are just to lazy to fix that problem

It matches you up by rating, not by rank. You probably had a small bit of a wait, and 150 or so points difference between your guild and the opposing guild (based on the fact that I've guested against a 4200 guild, and for a 700 ranked guild today). 150 points is a good bit, but the 4200 ranked guild gave us a good fight. 100-150 points isn't unreasonable for the system.

The reason you got paired up with the better guild is none closer to your rank were wanting a battle (and free from other partners).

Yes, its just you. The matching system was in fact changed to expand the range of possibilities battling more quickly a couple months back to stop high ranked guilds from having to wait forever to battle.

The rank/rating disparity is just a sign of a bigger problem. Well, if you consider it a problem -- not enough guilds are GvG'ng. It's really too bad, because IMHO, gvg is the most fun part of the game.

Go tell Anet that, and you rank 4000 peeps will wait for around a hour until you find an opposing Guild.

If theres not a guild near enough to your rank gvging - it goes out an finds the closest it can.

there's really no difference between a rank 700 and 4500 guild.. -_-

except for the mage and archer henchmen...

I am pretty sure this is how it works (thought I read this when they changed it):

For the first two minutes you'll get matched up with the closest guild within +/- 200 rating of yours. After that you'll get matched up with the closest guild that is also waiting.

A couple days a go I guested on a rank 4000+ guild and we faced RnS and OUT back to back (rank 20ish and rank 50ish at the time). We got these match ups because no one else was on.

Guested for guilds in the 2000-2500 range and bested <500 guilds, sometimes flawless. I think there isn't too much difference between guilds until you get to below 300.
